They must take playoffs into account too.Matthews scores the most goals in 30+ years while being a Selke finalist and is 7th? More click bait hot take crap meant to get people talking

Won the Art Ross and finished 2nd for the Hart, first one in decades to get 100 assists yet NOT EVEN CLOSE to Matthews. LaughableKucherov was one of the worst defensive players in the league last year. That is a fact. Matthews was a finalist for the Selke. A fact.
Matthews scored 69 goals the most in over 30 years. This site just hates the Leafs

Is that a fact? What are you basing that on?Kucherov was one of the worst defensive players in the league last year. That is a fact. Matthews was a finalist for the Selke. A fact.

Elite defensivelyDo you have something to say with my point or just want your turn at the low hanging fruit?
Also Matthews and the Leafs were elite defensively so it's not even good
Elite defensively
Maple leafs
You really have to choose one
14th in league in 5V5 GA (2 goals less accorded than Arizona)
Fourth in the league in 5v5 giveaways
15th in 5v5 takeaways
23rd in league in 5v5 SA (10 more shots accorded than the mighty Sabres)
Nothing elite about the leafs or Matthews, defensively.
So you provide stats, then get the laughing emoji, then it’s followed up by excuses.Elite defensively

So, Alex Killorn > Marcel DionneThey must take playoffs into account too.

Kucherov would be the best leaf everKucherov was one of the worst defensive players in the league last year. That is a fact. Matthews was a finalist for the Selke. A fact.

Hellebuyck is one of 7 goalies to have won the Vezina twice, and has been a Vezina winner or a finalist 4 of the past 7 years (and finished 4th in voting one of the other years).Helleybuck and Demko being top 15 is a joke lol, barkov also way to high
It’s literally pivoted to “playoffs don’t count” at this point lmfaoView attachment 902828
Leaf Fan Book of Excuses...2024 edition, Volume 98...Matthews scores!...except in the playoffs.
Selke 69 goal big power center in prime >>> defensive black hole 31+ winger
One guy won the Art Ross and actually produces in the playoffs, the other guy scores a lot of goals in the regular season then has the runs in the playoffs.At this point in their careers it is not even close between Kucherov and Matthews. That is just one name.
The defensive end isn't the end Matthews tends to ignore in the playoffsDo you have something to say with my point or just want your turn at the low hanging fruit?
Also Matthews and the Leafs were elite defensively so it's not even good
He has horrific playoffs like all time bad playoff recordHellebuyck is one of 7 goalies to have won the Vezina twice, and has been a Vezina winner or a finalist 4 of the past 7 years (and finished 4th in voting one of the other years).
Tough crowd.
Hellebuyck has failed to put up .900 in the playoffs twice in 6 playoff runs. He's a career .911 playoff goalie, even after two disastrous playoffs in a row.He has horrific playoffs like all time bad playoff record
Matthews is being viewed poorly for bad playoffs, Helleybuck cant put .900 sv% usually come playoffs
Have to be consistent
I mean yeah, on a list of top current NHL players a guy in the league is going to be higher than a retired player. Good point.So, Alex Killorn > Marcel Dionne
Yeah the two goalies stick out like sore thumbs in todays NHL.Two great goalies but It's tough out there to be a G these daysNot a fan of ranking goalies with forwards and defense.
He just had 94 points and was voted most complete player by his peers. Second highest scoring 36 year old season in history behind Gretzky.Is Crosby really #14 at this stage in his career?
